Comes even faster internet?

Researchers realized speed data transfer of 186 gigabytes per second, whichopened the way for forming a network with a standard speed of 100 gigabytessekunda, which would accelerate scientific research.The new record is equal to the transmission of data from 1.000 DVD-and in a second or 100.000 blue-ray discs per hour.


During the test, the American University of Victoria, British Columbia and the StateConvention Center Washington in Seattle exchanging data with each other and were212 km apart.

Researchers in both directions achieved speeds of 186 gigabytes per second, whichshot down his previous record of 119 gigabytes per second of 2009. Forcomparison, optical cables now reach maximum speed of data transmission from one gigabyte per second.

The new record was achieved using the latest optical equipment, server performanceand set the maximum network that put the Canadian company KANARIE.

In performing the experiment involved physicists, computer experts and networkengineers. Experts, for illustration of the capabilities of this system, carried out the transmission of large amounts of data from Seattle in Brazil and South Korea.

This technical achievement can be very useful in the realization of large scientificprojects, experiments of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
